Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has surrendered his lips to Satan and should be called to order.
This is the assertion of Reno Omokri, former aide of former President Goodluck Jonathan, in reaction to the claim by Osinbajo that the former president spent about N150 billion barely two weeks before the 2015 general election.
Osinbajo made the claim when he spoke at the 7th Quarterly Business Forum (QBF) held at the State House, Abuja, on Monday.
He also blamed the current woe the country is going through on the amount of corruption that characterized the Jonathan administration.
But reacting to the claim, Omokri, in a statement issued on Tuesday, described the vice president as a liar and challenged him to produce evidence of his claim.
His words: “It is sad that the vice-president has again surrendered his lips to Satan to be used to spread slander and lies. Nigerians may recall that lying is the most consistent achievement of Professor Osinbajo’s almost three years as vice-president.”

Omokri called on the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Enoch Adeboye, to call Osinbajo to order.
Osinbajo is a pastor of the church.
The statement reads further: “If Professor Osinbajo has proof that former President Jonathan did so, then we challenge him to publish his proof. He is a Professor of Law and ought to know that he who alleges must prove.
“Again, it is a lie from the pit of hell that the Jonathan administration spent only N14 billion on agriculture and N153 billion on infrastructure in three years as alleged by the fallacious Osinbajo.
“The Jonathan administration budgeted and spent over $10 billion on infrastructure in the 5 years between May 6, 2010 and May 29, 2015.
“The Buhari administration, which in less than three years has borrowed more money than the PDP borrowed in 16 years cannot point to even one major project they have started and completed.
“Both President Buhari and Vice-President Osinbajo keep accusing the Jonathan administration of being corrupt and claim that they run an anti-corruption government.”
